Abstract:
The ocular component of an orbital prosthesis can be held firmly during fabrication by attaching a plastic needle cover with autopolymerizing acrylic resin to the posterior surface of the eye in the wax-sculpted prosthesis. This index is subsequently embedded in the master cast. Compared with other techniques described in the literature, this technique spares the corneal surface of the artificial eye and allows duplicate fabrication of silicone orbital prostheses in nonmetal durable molds.
